What does it really mean to live in alignment with your truth? In this episode, Rita Mercer talks with Amy Lenius about turning pain into purpose, building self-belief and self-worth, and redefining success on your own terms. Get ready for an inspiring conversation filled with practical wisdom and honest insights.

In this episode of The Daring Well Podcast, Rita Mercer is joined by Amy Lenius, Director of Group Coaching at Next Level University, professional speaker, and personal development coach. Amy opens up about her powerful journey of overcoming chronic illness, rebuilding her identity, and helping others align with their truth.

Together, we talk about the messy middle of growth, why hard days are actually a sign of progress, and how to cultivate both self-belief and self-worth. Amy shares why honoring your cyclical nature allows you to show up with more grace, and how to define success in ways that reflect your values—not external expectations.

We also dive into the “circle of control” and explore how sustainable, adaptable habits lead to real transformation.

Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or seeking more alignment in your life, this conversation will inspire you to pause, reflect, and start small.
